Anyway my question: Which was the first national side to tour New Zealand?

According to Cricinfo the first official test match (mens AND womens cricket) in NZ was with England, unless you are asking about some other game like rugby, or are talking about unofficial status games and tours. Probably some team stopped in NZ on their way to Australia?
